Crunchyroll increases prices for all anime streaming plans

Anime fans will have no reprieve from streaming service price hikes that now seem inevitable across all platforms every couple of years. Crunchyroll announced today that it will increase the monthly costs of all of its plans by $2. This means that the Fan tier will now cost you $10 per month, the Mega Fan tier is $14 per month, and the Ultimate Fan tier is $18 per month.

The platform introduced its Mega Fan and Ultimate Fan options in 2020, both of which finally gave viewers the option to watch shows offline. The positive side of the current price changes is that Fan members get the same offline viewing option, even if it is limited to a single device. Crunchyroll further attracts people who might now be more interested in the Fan tier by offering a discount on the annual plan for that tier; you can get 1 year access for a limited time for $67.
